Katana Collins and Clay McCormack return for a SPOILER-FILLED chat about issue one of Batman White Knight Presents Generation Joker, crafting the story of Jackie and Bryce on a dangerous trip with Dad, while weaving in some familiar faces, as well as some new ones.

We also grill them about some upcoming projects, con appearances and, of course, the obligatory chat about The Last Of Us and Yellowjackets.

Again, this is a SPOILER-FILLED episode. Read Generation Joker # 1 before listening,

Nick Robles joins us just in time for the final issue of his Boom! Studios series "Behold, Behemoth", to talk about the creation of the story, along with Tate Brombal, and how the project kept him from stepping out of comics. We also get into some of his prior works, including introducing new characters into Neil Gaiman's Sandman Universe in the pages of Waking Hours, and we finish it off by geeking out about Yellowjackets and The Last Of Us (both the games and the HBO series) and how that story lent influence to Behold, Behemoth.

Fernando Blanco joins us to discuss the development and creation of w0rldtr33 with James Tynion, the unfortunate delay caused by a printing error, the themes are inspirations for the story, as well as his own origin story in art and comics, making a career for himself in American comics, all the way in Barcelona.

We are joined once again by international best selling author Blake Northcott to discuss her upcoming comic adaption of her best selling book The North Valley Grimoire, her Disney obsession, hanging out with Samuel L Jackson, writing with rockstars, and more.

We continue our trip through the Batman works of Grant Morrison with Gothic. Originally appearing in issues 6 to 10 of Legends of The Dark Knight in 1990, it features occult and religious themes and imagery, a killer from Bruce's past, and the art of Klaus Janson.

We sit down with Shiv The Impaler to talk all about his Brutal Slam project Skin Stripper and how the Snyder Verse has heavily influenced the latest single "DO YOU BLEED?" and the upcoming EP "SICK AS FUCK 2 BADASS" dropping on the anniversary of the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League March 18th. DISCLAIMER: No members of the Coalition of Angry Nolan Nerds were harmed during the recording of this episode.

We sit down to talk about our early thoughts on the new Batman - I mean Flash - trailer. After that, we continue into some discussion on the upcoming DC universe under the Gunn - Saffran regime.

Author Tate Brombal joins us to talk about his work on books like House of Slaughter; Behold, Behemoth; The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos; and Barbalien; as well as his unique origin story in writing comics, working in the universes of Something Is Killing The Children and Black Hammer, with creators like James Tynion and Jeff Lemire, and lots more. This is a good one, and you don't want to miss it. Beware SPOILERS for House Of Slaughter # 11

Back at the beginning of December, we gathered to celebrate the creations and contributions of some of the great creators we lost in 2022.
